The Edinburgh operation joins the Glasgow site already operated by the French carmaker.

The new site is situated on a 0.5 hectare site comprising a ten car showroom, nine bay vehicle workshop and external display area for 66 vehicles.

Some 33 people are employed at the facility, including five sales executives and 18 aftersales staff. The Citroen Retail Group name is being applied to big dealerships in cities including London, Manchester and Birmingham.
